	Which country sets the best examples?
	Which country sets the best examples? Which ones set the best examples to the rest of the world? Which ones would we do best to copy, to emulate and to admire for their foresight, hard work and long-term conscience? Which countries would have humanity survive gleaming into clean, happy, bright future? Compiling relevant statistics and constructing rankings, I've arrived at a shortlist of five countries that beat all the others. Mainly, it is Sweden, Finland and Norway. Secondly, Switzerland and Australia. Be the best! Acievement of Women's Right to Vote on an Equal Basis with Men Life expectancy Quality of Life Most Competitive Economy Gay Rights Obesity Asylum Seeker Acceptance Rates Am going to add more (crime, environment, etc).

What, you mean the way the Australians stood up to the profession asylum industry that goes hysterical when their dogma is challenged?

No, I don't mean anything like that at all.

Yeah. All countries have flunked at something. Finland has highest rate of violent crime, Sweden flagged on Women's Rights, etc.

Fair enough. I'll probably also point out that AU isn't the best when it comes to Gay Rights either - though that is something that tends to be decided on a state level, so its good in some parts, and absolutely attrocious in others - though it has been improving from what I've heard since I left.

And their treatment of aboriginies. They were denied the vote until the late sixties. Votes for whites only in keeping with their white only immigration policy. Australia is fine for those with the 'right' hue.

All countries are poor at many things. Australia has problems with racism, and has done for ages.

But the page is about positive aspects where countries have set good examples. A page that listed countries failings would be completely different.

Well, I was the right hue... yet I left because I couldn't stand it.

Where's better?

I'm feeling like this. But where's better?

I was a refugee from Thatcher's Britain, now Australia is almost as bad.

Nice, I'm a refugee from Australia, and now living in the heirloom of Thatcher's Britain.

Oh you gotta add in schools, age starting school, performance levels, etc. The Scandanavian countries school systems are FAR superior!
And housing as well, quiality of, availability, enviromentaly friendly-ness off... to my knowledge those same countries will come out ahead in those areas too.
Good work man!

I'd like to add educational attainment, but to compare different qualifications and tests across countries is difficult. Age of schooling is irrelevant - if a country has good home schooling as part of it's cultural inheritance, then this is good but can hardly be taken into account. Achievements & intelligence are more important than actual schooling; and finding markers of those that are international is difficult. But I'm keeping my eyes open!

I bet there's an international UN dept. that actually measures educational levels in children and young adults, all I've got to do is find it!

Gay marriages

Not sure where you got the facts about gay marriages, but Denmark was the first country in the world to come up with a system of registered partnerships as of 01.10.1989.
The rest of the scandinavian countries followed suit in the early 90s afaik.
